Don’t worry, the technical jargon doesn’t bother me. I am pretty sure I understood everything you mentioned(I think).

Hi again

Try going to Rick Otten’s website

http://www.webuyhouses.com

It’s a great read. Follow all the links, and also go to his other websites eg.

http://www.rent2buy.com

The really good news for a Grade 12 student who wants to get into property is that Rick will pay you (I think around $685) for sending him a few photos of properties in your local area…[Read more]

Hi again Chris

I hope we didn’t scare you off by getting technical on your simple request. Don’t you DARE get intimidated just because we happen to know what we’re talking about. That’s the whole point of this forum. We NETWORK with other movers and shakers, and NO AGE OR INCOME is too young or too little to get into property.

On my part, I…[Read more]

Hi Redwing

KP and Ausprop are out there. Why don’t you just look for their latest posting and click on their PM button (if you haven’t already done so)? [cap][biggrin][blush2][cigar]

Hi Chris

I suggest you start by:
1. Buy Steve’s Wrap Pack (was $2,195 a few months ago, BUT NOW ONLY $695…BARGAIN!)

2. Go to Rick Otten’s http://www.webuyhouses.com
http://www.rent2buy.com

3. Get yourself to one of Rick’s “Boot Camps” asap. The money “invested” is really invested.

Do these 2 things, and you won’t ever look back with regrets.

Cheers
Greg

Hi Steve

The fellow in the article pushing Capital Gain puts a strong case, but he’s also probably a developers agent. To learn from him (and he has got something to teach you), pay close attention to his summary paragraph:
